Remarks
This is a provider for a share action. It is responsible for creating views that enable data sharing and also to show a sub menu with sharing activities if the hosting item is placed on the overflow menu.
Here is how to use the action provider with custom backing file in a MenuItem:
// In Activity#onCreateOptionsMenu
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Get the menu item.
MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.my_menu_item);
// Get the provider and hold onto it to set/change the share intent.
mShareActionProvider = (ShareActionProvider) menuItem.getActionProvider();
// Set history different from the default before getting the action
// view since a call to {@link MenuItem#getActionView() MenuItem.getActionView()} calls
// {@link ActionProvider#onCreateActionView()} which uses the backing file name. Omit this
// line if using the default share history file is desired.
mShareActionProvider.setShareHistoryFileName("custom_share_history.xml");
. . .
}
// Somewhere in the application.
public void doShare(Intent shareIntent) {
// When you want to share set the share intent.
mShareActionProvider.setShareIntent(shareIntent);
}
<strong>Note:</strong> While the sample snippet demonstrates how to use this provider in the context of a menu item, the use of the provider is not limited to menu items.
